Michael Rulli (R) “won a special election Tuesday in eastern Ohio for a U.S. House seat that has sat vacant for months, expanding the GOP’s narrow majority in the congressional chamber,” the AP reports.
“Rulli defeated Michael Kripchak (D) to fill the remainder of Rep. Bill Johnson’s (R-OH) unexpired term.“
“Rulli’s victory by roughly 10 percentage points was much closer than earlier GOP performances in Ohio’s 6th District. Johnson won his last four elections by more than 30 percentage points. Trump also carried the district by around 30 percentage points in 2020.“
Playbook: “With early returns putting the race even closer, our minds immediately turned to Simon Rosenberg, the Democratic high priest of hopium, who has counseled anxious Democrats for going on three years now to pay less attention to polls and more attention to how voters actually vote. It paid off big time in 2022, when he was one of the few pundits to predict a GOP midterm fizzle.”
